I preferred it when life came in tidy packages. When it didn’t — when something went awry — I was exceedingly skilled at packaging it back up. It was my job to do so, after all.

 I was a reconstructionist.

 I collected the puzzle pieces, then I gave those pieces to an investigative team to sort out. I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t offer answers. I saw, I recorded, and I moved on.

 I didn’t dwell or obsess. I didn’t hunt down suspects. I didn’t follow clues to find a killer. And I certainly didn’t work side by side with anyone — least of all a vampire who I strongly suspected might turn out to be the major missing component when the case was complete.

 Then I saw something I couldn’t forget. It wasn’t the bloodiest thing I’d ever seen — it wasn’t even close — but it haunted me. I didn’t like being haunted.

 But I couldn’t figure out how to get it out of my head.

Someone was killing teenaged boys in the Pacific Northwest. Despite my misgivings, if I could help catch a killer, I had to at least try.

While it is not necessary to read all the series, in order to avoid spoilers the ideal reading order of the Adept Universe begins with Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1). 

 

Reading order, not including short stories:

 • Catching Echoes (Reconstructionist 1)
 • Tangled Echoes (Reconstructionist 2)
 • Unleashing Echoes (Reconstructionist 3)

Catching Echoes

I never got involved in the dirt and the details of an investigation. I never let my preconceptions muddy a reconstruction. And I steadfastly refrained from ever allowing my past to dictate my future.

 At least until the one person I couldn’t lose went missing.

 Because then I’d relive every dark moment of my childhood, confront every heartbreak, and even sell my soul if that was what it took to get her back.

 Because I couldn’t accept a future — not even a promised one of immortality and unbridled power — that didn’t include one of the only two people I’d ever truly loved.

Tangled Echoes is the second book in the Reconstructionist series, which is set in the same universe as the Dowser, Oracle, Amplifier, Archivist, and Misfits of the Adept Universe series. While it is not necessary to read all the series, in order to avoid spoilers the ideal reading order of the Adept Universe begins with Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1). 

 

Reading order, including short stories:

 • The Graveyard Kiss (Reconstructionist 0.5)
 • Catching Echoes (Reconstructionist 1)
 • Dawn Bytes (Reconstructionist 1.5)
 • Tangled Echoes (Reconstructionist 2)
 • An Uncut Key Reconstructionist 2.5)
 • Unleashing Echoes (Reconstructionist 3)

Tangled Echoes

For twelve years, I had managed to separate my personal life from my professional life, becoming one of the best reconstructionists in the world — and proving to myself that I could do so on my own merits.

 Then I’d been forced into contact with my family, reuniting with someone I thought I’d lost forever, and rescuing my best friend. Now I had to savor what little time I had left before the contract with the Conclave came due and my future was wrenched from my control.

 Except there was one last case to solve.

 One last set of puzzle pieces to collect, then assemble again.

 But this time, I would have to be the investigator and the executioner. Whether I wanted to be or not.

 Because it seemed as though the future wouldn’t be allowed to finally unfold until the past had its way.

Unleashing Echoes is the third and final book in the Reconstructionist series, which is set in the same universe as the Dowser, Oracle, Amplifier, Archivist, and Misfits of the Adept Universe series. While it is not necessary to read all the series, in order to avoid spoilers the ideal reading order of the Adept Universe begins with Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1).
